A 25-year-old Park Heights gospel singer was an instant standout on last night’s episode of NBC’s singing competition show “The Voice,” belting out a pristine, soulful rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “Me and Mr. Jones.”

There is a city bench at 5100 Park Heights Ave. that stands as a monument to a moment in sneaker history — a cultural marker of sorts.
Right below the familiar “Baltimore — The Greatest City in America,” black writing on a yellow slat reads: “DAMN RIGHT, YOU SAVED THE AIR FORCE 1.”
